There's been a severe lack of conversation on this group for the last few days, so I thought I'd post something banal and inoffensive.

FFS, stupid Irish licensing laws! Don't really mind not going on xmas day, although I did usually enjoy a few pints when I lived in Wales. Really pisses me off about good friday though.
We're not totally off the hook on Good Friday. The pubs are only allowed to serve alcohol for 5 hours, or something like that.
Christmas day, I think we're okay. A bunch of us used to head out to Omagh or Cookstown on Christmas night. Although that was about 20 years ago :-\

Found out on Monday that the boss is letting us off 2 days early so off to the North Coast tomorrow for a week ;D
Will also get to try our first kegged beer!
What about you Barry?

Billy, move to Dublin. Everything's better up here. I spent last Good Friday knocking back pints in the bar in the train station (along with some dodgy people from the inner city, but ignore them). And unlike Cork there's a roof on our train station too!
Ha! Don't get me wrong, If I want pints on good Friday, I know where to find them, but I'm usually working, and normally save myself for the Easterfest on the Saturday. It's just the fact that if I want to stop for a quick one on the way home I can't. And the people who say it's only one day, really piss me off, as I don't go to the pub all the days that it is open.
Re moving to Dublin, the once or twice a year I get up that direction is plenty enough for me, as living out in the country is the only place for me nowadays. Also, I get the train in Mallow, so the Cork one having no roof, shouldn't be a problem.

I've asked my daughter for a Christmas jumper with flashing LEDs on it. You know the ones. So far she has failed to find one (I think she only looked in Tesco tho). Anyone any suggestions?

Get your Arduino nano to do the job!

Primark, apparently, Shane. Guy in work was wearing one so I asked him for you.
Though I believe you call it Pennys, (or maybe Cent(pl) now) down there.

Pretty quiet, Chris. Working Christmas eve and then off till the 6th.
We're doing Polish Christmas dinner on Christmas eve (brother's girlfriend is Polish, and they traditionally do Christmas dinner on the 24th - usually about 12 courses. Sloo..)
Having wife's folks for Christmas dinner on 25th and then down to me mum's for a few days in Tyrone, where the car keys will finally be f**ked into a corner and many beers will be opened and deserved.
It's a tough life.
-Barry
Polish Christmas dinner sounds class! 12 courses though! I thought 4 was bad :o
"and starting a new job with brewbot"
Nice one Matthew! Good luck with this. I met Chris and Johnny a while back and loved the idea. Just wish they'd taken me on their US road trip!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!....................
and BEST WISHES FOR 2014.

DITTO FROM ME!!
Have a great one, everybody, and don't let the hangovers put you off even more brewing in 2014 !!
-Barry
+1 everyone!
Doing our last brew of the year today up at the in-laws!
So 7am didn't look all that great from the wrong side..
Feckin robbed by Man City too.
Still, homebrew, new Samsung Galaxy Tab and spongebob squarepants help a little :).
-Barry
Did a Proper Job clone on Stevens, possibly my last brew of 2013. Given the weather on the night, think I'll call it Proper Storm.
